He was born in J?rvamaa, in the municipality of Albu as the son of a farmer. Tammsaare came from poor background, but he managed to collect enough money for his education. He studied in V?ike-Maarja and Tartu in Hugo Treffner's Gymnasium, and afterwards at the University of Tartu, where he studied law. Tammsaare's studies were interrupted by tuberculosis in 1911. He spent over a year in a sanatorium in the Caucasus - his only journey abroad - and the following six years in his brother's farm in Koitj?rve, Estonia, reading works of Cervantes, Shakespeare and Homer.
